After Carousel and Salam, Brave New World 2.0 is the third performance in which director and choreographer Guy Weizman presents a world that is changing faster than you can keep up with. A world where everyone is looking for a new story, but at the same time struggling to escape from entrenched thought patterns.

About

Dystopia is the opposite of utopia: not a view of a new and ideal world, but rather a fearful image of the horrors that await us. People love it. Dystopia shows that it is actually not that bad in our chaotic world: it can always get worse.

With Brave New World 2.0, theatre writer Rik van den Bos writes an ode to the wall, the barbed wire, the spyware and the anti-aircraft guns. A plea for distance-taking, crawling-back-in-the-shell and diving-under-the-duvet. Director Guy Weizman turns it into an in-your-face theatre experience with dance, live music and drama, through a cast of 25 players.
